Oh yawn, someones getting a bit defensive, its actual sarcastic undertones highlight the double standards of the image/stereotypes created within the commercialized world. Hence the stereotype of what you believe to be Irish music and the impression you have of people of all nations that is thrust upon you by media and government. Who told u you're allowed to muck about playing music and calling it 'Irish'. If you don't know Christy Moore, and his level of sarcasm, then you indeed are the focus of this song, and a plastic paddy. Hilarious.
